Re: MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

After playing many of demo 09 games, I really wish we had a new commentary guy. Too bad they didnt get harold reynolds instead of, or with vasgersian. That'd be awesome!

I am assuming this is sarcasm right?

Re: MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

vasgersian is the best in the business....not a big reynolds fan....doesn't speak that clearly

youre definately right about that, just need some new commentary guys, maybe for 2010

Vasgersian is excellent. And Dave Cambell is, as well.

Hudler?? Despite being a real-life announcer, he sounds nothing like one. Hopefully, SCEA will not keep him.

Well Reynolds is a color commentator, you can't replace the play by play guy with a color commentator. With Harold Reynolds the whole game he would be talking about his past experiences.

The dude guy is Hudler, and annoying as he is, I think it is cool to have a 3rd guy there to add something every now and again.

Re: MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

oh ok, hudler I meant then. Has anyone else noticed that there are a ton of balls thrown over the head of the first baseman? There were a ton last year too.

I've yet to have one or even see the CPU throw one high to first. Only played about 10 games.

Re: MLB 09 The Show Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Well, I didn't write a book review tonight so I could get a few games in. I know a lot of guys have played this a bunch and most likely said some of the same things but here goes....

1. Love the lighting transition.

2. So far I have found hitting to be much more difficult. I have to keep telling myself to wait back all the time on pitches I normally would have crushed.

3. Once you get the hang of the pitch tweaks (Mostly meter speed and such) I find that it is eaiser to make your pitch. Especially with the breaking ball (last year it was frustrating to not be able to break off a curve without it bouncing in the dirt without major adjustments to aim point.)

4. In terms of fielding, I think the animations are right on. Also, some of the hot shot plays (especially wigh vuys having to back up or slide to reach a ball) are great.

5. Also related to defense, I think the throws are much more indicitive of a real game. Last year I had an issue with everythrow I made (with any jucice) to the plate or the bags being airmailed or up the line. So far, it seems like you can make a throw on a line and the game allows you to bounce it to the plate or the base.

6. Generally, the the little things in this game are great. For instance, Hitting with rollins, foul one off and he hits it to the seats but drops to a knee cause I was fooled.

All in all just a really great game and I can't wait to play the full version.

This is to all people who have been having problems with the black bars on the top bottom, and sides of your television sets while playing mlb 08 or mlb 09.

I have a 32 inch 720p Samsung hdtv.

You guys have to use your remote to go to video settings. Then make sure its set to "just scan" (you are not done yet)

Then, while playing mlb 09, you must pause the game. in the game go to audio/video settings. Go to video settings. Then adjust the horizontal positioning and vertical positioning so that it fits the screen. The picture still looks great!
